GOP Leadership Plotting to Pass Amnesty in August, May Put AZ, TX in Play for Dems
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | April 27, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 04/27/2014 8:04:10 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), the House GOP Conference Chair, said that amnesty legislation could come to the floor by August.

Her comments come after multiple House Republicans have ramped up support for amnesty legislation and discussed bills they plan to introduce in the coming months.

“I believe there is a path that we get a bill on the floor by August,” McMorris Rodgers said, according to the Spokesman-Review. “We’re going to have to push that this is a legal status, not amnesty,” she said.

According to NBC 5, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) "will soon introduce a bill that will establish a path to citizenship for the minor children of illegal immigrants and a guest worker program."

"If the only illegal act they committed was coming into the country without proper documentation we'd put them on a path to legalization," Barton said.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) said the Republican leadership is "as close as we have ever been" and, though "it is still a big, big, heavy lift... I think we’re going to get there.”(continued)

A “lessor” is one who rents property. “Lesser” is smaller. A “lessor evil” is an evil quality belonging to a landlord.

She has also committed category error. She defined the problem so poorly it is impossible to solve it.

For the exact reason you mentioned. Romney was never ‘major’ opposition or any opposition at all.

On the other hand, all his little net rats that ran around screaming and posting pictures of Yosemite Sam on a Dragon as political commentary were actively pushing a liberal when there were conservatives out there to vote for.

AKA Opposing Conservatism.

They need to leave and LEAD, not stay and be minimized by the rest.

Yep. Anybody who doesn't understand that the GOP presidential nominee in 2016 is 100 to one going to be a Romney or equally government-go-along "Republican" on board in principle with the entire left agenda, isn't thinking realistically. Plan ahead for it now. Be expecting it.

Americans are ripe for a new party. Not a "third" party, because the GOP and DEM parties are two sides of the same party coin and most folks understand that, but a SECOND party. A NEW party. With LEADERS, politicians who have a DESTINATION of tearing down government tyranny and freeing Americans to live as the Christians they overwhelmingly are.

For what it's worth, many, many Democrats are very much pro 2nd Amendment. It is a major issue that unites Americans and ironically, has the same consequential numbering as the NEW party, actually a 2nd Party for Americans, since Dem/Rep are virtually a uniparty.

Media polls have become the new god, for the peace-at-any-price Romney voters, still trolling FR.

I believe we recalcitrant Romney rejecters gained more ground politically and against these compromise boobs than we will ever know. Still seen sniveling here and there, on FR, constantly blaming Romney rejecters instead of the Establishment R’s for putting him up, they may capture the title for “useful idiot”, in spades.

The Establishment R’s, along with the media’s eager assistance would like us to believe that the best defense is a great offense, when the truth is they got spanked with the Romney nomination, and may have to get spanked again to get convinced. Those needing convinced include the blame gamers on FR.

Immigration goes no where in the House, regardless of the Boehner play acting or the media trumpeting of a fairy tale.

About 10% brought on the Boston Tea Party. The rest stayed home and wrung their damn hands. That FR should suffer a few of these hand wringers is normal. They can be suitable for grinders and tool sharpeners.

To a point. But they also spread the lie of Lesser Evil to people whose tools are not as sharp as ours yet. It is never a good thing to give your opponent a platform to lie from.

Look how many people on FR listened to the screaming banshees and bought it. Most now are pissed at themselves. Had they not, and I don’t mean just here on FR, then the GOP would not have gotten the message loud and clear that the base would give them the ‘no matter what’ they did.

So they moderated on marriage, gays, threw the towel on Amnesty and O /Romneycare...As if Romney who CHAMPIONED those issues all his life would have stopped that.

They did all these things to slap us in the face. And idiots want another slap.

I belive the hand wringers tread more gingerly on FR now. They too have seen the force of our rebellion in the case of the 2012 election loss, although Romney helped. A LOT! Lately, they seem to strike and run, true to their type, afraid to engage more than briefly and except in the mildest of terms, for fear of reaching thin ice on FR for harranguing with their blame-prattle on the rest of us.

Fortunately, these whiners are not in charge at FR, and are in thinning supply at large, especially when it comes to Romney and his like types straight out of the RNC.

Nice link. Thank you, very much. On that thread, Corleone says “Congress would corrupt the pope and Mother Theresa without breaking for lunch”.

That seems to be the prevailing intention of most compromisers of freedom and liberty, whether in Congress or on FR, hound dogging the moon about Romney’s loss. It just takes a stupid vote, over and over, to stop nothing, obstruct those who try and finally corrupt a nation, by their self righteous cowardice to fight.

Who does that?

Oh.
